The Discovery of an Ancient Empire. Translated from the German by Richard and Clara Winston.

Hittitology is the newest branch of the science of archaeology. History of the Hittites based on the dramatic discovery of Hittite cuneiform tablets at the site of their ancient capital, Hattusa, in the 1940s. Ceram was the pseudonym for the author, Kurt W. Marek. The book first appeared in Germany in 1955 with the title, Enge Schlucht und schwarzer Berg. Archaeology

Translated from the German by Richard and Clara Winston. The author of the acclaimed Gods, Graves, and Scholars tells the dramatic tale of the Hittites, an Indo-European people who became a dominant power in the Middle East. Their struggle in Egypt with Ramses II for control of Syria led to one of the greatest battles of the ancient world. The fall of the Hittite empire was sudden, and historical records were scarce--until the discovery of cuneiform tablets yielded a rich store of information on which this work is based. ". a saga richly charged with dramatic twists and with enthralling accounts of scholarly detective work."--The Atlantic.
